Programmatic Navigation: Changing Routes with Code
Instead of a user clicking a link, you trigger navigation from your JavaScript. This is useful for redirecting after an action, like a successful login. The main footgun: `params` are ignored if you also provide a `path`—use a named route instead.
Programmatic navigation lets you change the URL from your JavaScript, not just from a user clicking a `<router-link>`. Think of it as steering the user through your app based on logic, like after a form submission or successful login. This is essential for redirecting users to their dashboard or a 'not found' page. The biggest footgun: `router.push()` ignores `params` if you also provide a `path`. You must use a named route to pass parameters correctly.
